Jasprit Bumrah suffered a loss of Rs 2 crore because of BCCI. In fact, in February, the board issued the annual contract (from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) for the senior men’s and women’s players of Team India, in which it was decided to abolish the A+ grade. In the latest contract, only 3 players (Bumrah, Jadeja and Shubman Gill) have been kept in Grade A, which is now the highest grade.

Jasprit Bumrah was in A+ category in the previous contract, for which he got Rs 7 crore annually. Let us tell you that A+ category players get Rs 7 crore annually, A category players get Rs 5 crore, B category players get Rs 3 crore and C category players get Rs 1 crore. However, BCCI has not yet clarified whether the salary will remain the same in the latest contract or there will be a change in it.

If the salary remains the same then Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a loss of Rs 2 crore, because his salary in the previous contract was Rs 7 crore. Now A+ category has been removed and Bumrah has come in Category A, so his salary has become Rs 5 crore.

The demotion of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja is understandable, because they no longer play in all three formats for Team India. But Jasprit Bumrah is playing in all three formats, he is among the most dangerous bowlers in the world. So the question is what has gone wrong with Bumrah. According to the report of Times of India, BCCI is considering how to compensate for the loss of Bumrah.

A BCCI source said, ‘BCCI is considering how to compensate for the loss of Jasprit Bumrah. It is true that it would be wrong to increase his salary from Rs 7 crore to Rs 5 crore. Some other players have also gone down a grade despite performing well. The evaluation of the contract may be changed. According to the report, the contract of Akshar Patel, who has now been kept in C category, can also be considered.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is soon going to make changes in the central contract system, from which Grade A+ can be removed. According to the current system, BCCI has divided the players into four categories, which are named Grade A+, Grade A, Grade B and Grade C. If we look at the current system, there are only 4 players to whom BCCI pays the highest salary annually.

According to a media report, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has suggested changes in the contract system. If such a change comes, then Indian cricketers will be divided into only A, B, C grades. There is also news of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being kept in Grade B. Well, before such a rule comes, know here about those 4 cricketers to whom BCCI pays the highest salary as per the current system.

Only 2 players, salary equal to Rohit-Kohli

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli currently come under Grade A+ in the central contract list. BCCI gives a salary of Rs 7 crore annually to the players falling in this category. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are the only two players who get the same salary as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Jadeja and Bumrah also come under Grade A+, hence they get Rs 7 crore in a year.

How much money do Gill-Surya-Pandya get?

If we talk about India’s Test and ODI team captain Shubman Gill, he currently comes under Grade A. Players falling in this grade get Rs 5 crore a year. All-rounder Hardik Pandya also comes in this grade, hence he also gets a salary of Rs 5 crore annually. But Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav is in Grade B, hence BCCI provides him an amount of Rs 3 crore annually.

BCCI Central Contract, Rohit-Virat: A big and historic decision can soon be taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI. This decision can cut the salary of star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Actually, the Indian Board can eliminate the A+ category from its central contract. Some time ago, Pakistan Cricket Board also took a similar step and abolished the top category from its central contract.

According to sources of news agency ANI, news came out regarding the central contract. It was also told that along with the abolition of A+ category, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can be kept in B category, which will be a big demotion for both the legends before the 2027 World Cup. Let us tell you that at present Rohit and Kohli are getting Rs 7 crore annually from BCCI under A+ category. Whereas players living in B category get an amount of Rs 3 crore. Therefore, there can be a difference of Rs 4 crore in the annual earnings of both.

Rohit-Virat can go to B category after a long time

At present, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are playing only one format, ODI, for Team India. Both the batsmen have retired from T20 International and Test cricket. Due to both of them playing only one format, their contracts can be reduced. If there is any change in the central contract of both, then it will be after almost a decade that Rohit-Virat will go to B category contract. However, it is worth noting that an official announcement is yet to be made.

List of players in the central contract released in April 2025

A+ Grade (Rs 7 crore)- Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.

If your dream is to wear the jersey of Team India and get salary from BCCI, then the first question that comes to your mind is how much study is required for this and how to get entry into the team. Many people believe that for this a big degree or special studies is required, but the reality is quite different from this. In BCCI, the salary of players is not directly related to their education, but to their game, hard work and performance.

BCCI i.e. Board of Control for Cricket in India gives salary to the players on the basis of their cricket skills, fitness, experience and consistent good performance. There is no fixed educational qualification for this. It means clearly that if you are excellent in cricket, then you can reach Team India even if you are less educated. There have been many big players of India who paid more attention to cricket than studies and today are getting salaries worth crores. However, it is also true that in today’s time, it is beneficial to have a little education and understanding.
